Crashing a Norge and having to change a fairing is a rather costly affaire, as I'm finding out, hence a renewed interest in crash-bars. I seem to recall discussing the Stucchi crashbars for the Norge on here, but can't find a dedicated thread, so I'm opening one.

Looking at the pictures, I'm left with a couple of questions.
* How/where are the bars fixed on the front of the engine? And how likely are those fixation points to get damaged in case of a spill/crash?!
* Do the extend sufficiently to protect the nose fairing in case of a tip-over?
* How much will they withstand when the tip-over does not occur at stand-still?
* Will the "knee bumpers" still fit and/or will those bars get very uncomfortable for long-legged riders like me?
Anyone on here who has mounted them?
